Oregon officials declined to pursue charges against conservative journalist Nick Sortor on Monday after his arrest in Portland during a chaotic protest outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

Sortor was captured on video being taken into custody on Thursday and was initially charged with second-degree disorderly conduct. He was later released, but his arrest quickly went viral after he claimed he was detained following a confrontation with two Antifa-affiliated individuals.

However, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office has since reversed course, issuing a statement dropping charges against Sortor due to insufficient evidence that a crime was committed.
